As a big of fan of architecture/design and alcohol, I made a point to visit the Loos Bar when a…read morefriend and I visited Vienna a few weeks ago. The Loos Bar was designed by famous Viennese architect and design Adolf Loos in 1908. It's 290 square feet of onyx, marble, and mahogany. It really is an incredible space. (They do have outdoor seating but if it's your first visit to the Loos Bar, you want to sit inside - it's part of the experience.) It's a cocktail bar, so my friend and I each ordered a cocktail according to our preferences from the menu - which is huge. My friend had a cocktail made with mezcal, and I had the Adolf Loos Spritzer (champagne, soda, strawberries, and mint). We both enjoyed our cocktails. Mine was exactly what I wanted on a warm afternoon day - refreshing and light. We went in the early afternoon, because I worried that this tiny little bar would get packed if we went at a more traditional hour for cocktails. It was pretty empty when we arrived and sat inside. So that's what's great about the Loos Bar - the design, the style, the drinks, the history. What's not so great? The service wasn't great, pretty unfriendly/unwelcoming (our bartender seemed almost offended we'd bothered him by ordering a drink). And they have a dress code - no flip flops, backpacks, or shorts (although "elegant shorts are welcome outdoors"). The dress code is reasonable, I suppose, and I probably wouldn't have minded if it weren't for the poor service. Despite this bad service, I can't give the Loos Bar any less than four stars, because it was one of the coolest bars I've ever visited: an amazing, historic space and some great cocktails, too.

I had heard about this place many times before being advertised as an American bar. After going to…read moreLoos Bar, my expectations were low for this place as some businesses seem to think that sticking 'American' in the name makes it American. Also this place has nothing to do with the America of today. It's more of a dreamland of someone who identifies Hemingway and The Rat Pack with America. Nonetheless, the ambience is good and the cocktail selection is incredible! Prices are steep (€14 for a champagne cocktail) but it was delicious. The service was fast and friendly too. I am deducting a star because 1) there is no separation door between smoking and non-smoking area and a real American bar would never have a smoking section anyway! And 2) they don't have wine (beer yes but no wine).

The place is situated more like a café than a cocktail bar, but it allowed the seating to be a lot more accommodating to larger groups. The only problem was temperature control, as it was incredibly warm, with no air conditioning and only a large fan at the door. The drinks were refreshing enough, but not quite enough to beat the heat. The cocktails themselves weren't terribly unique, but they did use great ingredients, and all the flavors were very well-balanced. I got my usual old-fashioned, and tried the Moscow Mule and espresso martini. I really enjoyed the old-fashioned, and the espresso martini was very tasty. The service was very attentive, and were very quick about getting us our drinks. The prices were pretty expensive for the area at about 10 Euros each, but as they were strong and well-made, it wasn't too much of a problem. Considering that many of the bars in Vienna only served things like Long Island Iced Teas and random, hackneyed mixed drinks, it was a welcome sight. Likely the best cocktail bar in the area that isn't crowded to the brim. There were plenty of other bars nearby, but none had the repertoire and laidback atmosphere. You should definitely come here if you're looking for a good, bespoke cocktail. The best is always yet to come.

Innovative cocktails with great taste! You will have to look for Planter's club a bit, as its located in a quieter area of the first district and from the outside its not obvious that there is such a cool place inside. The interior has a colonial feel; a bit like the bar at the Raffles in Singapore; Planter's only misses the peanuts and shells on the floor. Most important are the cocktails of course; i had two spicy creations. The Philippine Swizzle and Cooperation were beautiful, tangy creations. The cocktail with Thai basil (dont recall the name) was also very special.
